Texas Women’s Basketball 2022-2023: Get on board or get out the damn way

Featured Replies

Texas remains #10 in the NET this morning, entering the last week of Big 12 play. 

Baylor is #31, so they are 1 spot below a Quad 1 game.  KSU is #65, so that finale in Manhattan is Quad 1.

A 2-0 week would give us a regular season winning record in Quad 1 (7-6) and a 9-1 Quad 2 record. Texas, as a team, only has 8 Quad 3/4 games, which speaks to the strength of their schedule.  For example: LSU has 13 Q3/Q4 games (8 Quad 4 games!!!), SC/Maryland have 10, Stanford/ND/Iowa have 9.

The committee would have to note that of our 6 Quad 1 losses, 3 were without Rori in November (@UConn, Louisville, Marquette) and 1 was without Morris (@ISU).  At the moment, our sole Quad 2 loss is USF (#32 at home) unless they move up a couple spots, as Tech is still hovering as a Quad 1 loss (#75 on the road). 

Our record, to be honest, looks more like two different eras, November (3-3) and December to February (19-4). Aka, without Rori and with Rori.

Caitlin Clark is disgusting. Buries a 3 at the buzzer to beat #2 Indiana 

Best shooter in college basketball.

NPOY front runner. She’s only a junior too. Could jump to the WNBA or come back to terrorize the NCAA for another year 

Texas’ senior day graphic only lists Masudi and Anissa. What’s up with that?

Anissa listed as a senior, Femme as a junior, Sonya and Shaylee as grad students, but my understanding was Shaylee had one year of eligibility left and Sonya none.

Is that all correct? Not getting the senior day graphic at all.

Maybe Sonya has a year left. My goodness, Texas could be absolutely loaded next year. 

 

I don’t think she does. Maybe since she did senior day at DePaul, she doesn’t want another one?

 

I would prefer Sonya to return since she's been in Vic's system for a year but I also think Texas can easily find a replacement at guard (if not an upgrade) in the portal. 

My guess is there will be more attrition too. It will be interesting to see what happens with Mwenentanda because Texas will have two "wings" returning in Muhammad/Holle plus they're bringing in a top 15 recruit at that position.

I just don't see how Morris has any eligibility left.  She played 4 years at DePaul (3 countable seasons) and one at Texas.  That's 4 countable seasons.  No injury history for a medical RS, like Shaylee can use next year (and likely is, since she isn't included today either). 

I think Jak sticks.  6'2 guards don't come through often and she's still adjusting to big girl ball, after playing in South Dakota. 

It's very likely, at the moment, we go into the season with 9 players who aren't going through injury rehabs or potential redshirts - Rori, Shaylee, Jak, Muhammad, Jones, Gaston, Faye, Holle, Booker.  Maul, Moore and Codio are question marks for when they'll be ready to ball and Boutilier has to prove she has the conditioning to play (potential RS).  Hunter is donezo.  Kudos to Vic for honoring her scholarship this year, but she's hobbling this team's depth sitting in the stands. 

That's 13 players, so Vic can go find a Morris-type of scorer that can also play backup PG and keep a scholly open, as he usually does. 

Texas jumps up to 12th in the AP poll.  Very much in line with NET (10) and our previous committee ranking (13).  Finally. 

OU drops to 16.  ISU is 23. 

Pebley is stepping down after the season. Not a surprised, outside of a pretty miraculous 2nd place regular season finish in 2020, TCU is ass. 

A competent coach or highly regarded assistant will see a good opportunity with Texas and OU leaving and Joni Taylor doing nothing to aggy. Pick up some of those 2nd tier players in the state when you’re just battling Tech, Baylor and OSU for them and become a top 4 or 5 team in the new Big 12 

We may be short handed tonight. Jak isn’t dressed out 

Based on the number of players missing games, there can't be many teams (if any teams) that had worse injury luck this season. 

If Vic leads this team to a Big 12 title it's one of the best coaching jobs I've seen. This team hasn't been healthy all year and has missed 2 potential starters for a huge chunk of the Big 12 season. 

Apparently we have a “chance” to end Baylor’s regular season streak. I mean, either us or OU is going to lol. 

Littlepage-Buggs is a problem. She’s their whole offense right now 

Sloppy sloppy. Baylor is running the ISU gameplan of zone

Colleen’s misdirection of cuts and screens is confusing us 

Keep going inside to Jones. Baylor doesn’t have 6’4 and Shaylee is on the bench with 2 fouls 

20-18 Baylor after 1. I’m really unimpressed with our intensity. 

Turnovers are becoming a problem for us. And so is Littlepage-Buggs

We are starting to rebound with more intensity. Need to keep this a tied or 2 point game at half and make big adjustments 

Defense isn't great right now but Baylor is also hitting everything. You have to think they will eventually cool off.

I’ve watched enough of our men’s team to know that is not a sufficient strategy. But Vic will make adjustments

These refs are garbage

Very unimpressed. Letting Baylor play bully down low on us when we are on offense 

Just now, Rickylovesweed said:

Jesus, everything falling. Absolute brick hits the back and falls in. 

Did Baylor bring their rims? Jesus 

This officials have missed a bunch of calls on whose ball it is

37-32 Baylor at the half. Lots of work to do, defensively 

We're just tired. Our attempts to get the ball in the post are lazy, and Baylor is getting easy steals off the attempts. Texas needs to use adrenaline in the second half and find a way to win

Well this team needs to remember that the NCAA tournament is 1 day break between games. Tired isn’t an excuse or you’re out quickly 

They only have 3 turnovers and are shooting 53%. Hard to keep up with that kind of efficiency, that has got to change.

 

 

Vic was steaming mad at the refs heading into the locker room. Surprised he didn't get a T. He thinks Rori is getting fouled.

She’s been fouled a couple times and they got 1 or 2 calls wrong on who is was out on 

JFC Rori, can’t even inbound the ball 

And Shaylee picks up 3. This team is about to unravel 

Our posts need to learn how to pass out of a double team

We are in the bonus with 6 min left

Rori needs to find her shot. She’s being too passive 

And Gaston is back in

Just now, Rickylovesweed said:

Nothing going right in this game. 

Just like the ISU game, they shoot when they’re open. We keep passing up shots 

Need Taylor Jones back in the game. Need her offense inside. 

Get this to around 3 or 4 heading to the 4th.
